The core of the synthesizer builds on digitally synthesized tunable low-frequency I/Q tone which is then shifted to the actual radio frequency range using I/Q modulation. An efficient real-time FPGA design of the digital synthesizer core is first provided. This is then also implemented in real time and connected to practical I/Q modulation hardware to measure the spectral characteristics of the overall synthesizer, in terms of phase noise and spurious frequencies. Specific emphasis in the implementation structure is on adaptive digital pre-distortion and calibration mechanisms that improve the limited sideband attenuation and local oscillator leakage of practical I/Q modulators. Measured results indicate that the reported design of the proposed architecture can provide more than 50dB spurious free dynamic range at the final synthesizer output.","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126083416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In systems where channel reciprocity does not hold, a limited feedback link can be used to send the CSI from the receiver to the transmitter. However, the resources for the feedback link come at the expense of resources for the forward link. This paper studies the trade-off between the accuracy of the feedback information and system performance. The optimum resource allocation is presented as the solution to an analytic equation for different beamforming transmission schemes to maximize the worst-case performance, in a framework including both time-division duplexing (TDD) and frequency-division duplexing (FDD).","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128936591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, combinations of adaptive filters have been extended to operate with proportionate schemes, in order to achieve more robust operation when the actual degree of sparsity of the optimal solution is unknown. Furthermore, it is possible to exploit the asymmetric distribution of adaptation energy in proportionate schemes to reduce the overall steady-state misadjustment. In this contribution, we explain how these novel adaptive filtering structures, which have been proposed and tested mainly for echo cancellation, can also be effectively extended to improve the usual performance trade-offs that appear in active noise control scenarios by introducing some minor modifications. Experimental results in realistic scenarios show that the proposed schemes provide an interesting alternative to the traditional use of a single adaptive filter.","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127947422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering BSS demixing filters as some blind null beamformer and producing an acoustical map from them, source localization can be achieved by identifying the local minima of this acoustical map. To improve the performance of this method in reverberant environments, we have proposed to replace the demixing filter with one, corresponding to the direct path only. This is done by keeping only the largest coefficient in each demixing filter and neglecting the other coefficients. Besides, the proposed method reduces the computational complexity. To further improve the computational efficiency of the localization method, we have also proposed the limitation of the frequency range within averaging procedure. The experimental results demonstrate improved accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method in the localization of multiple simultaneous sound sources in reverberant environments.","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126935533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It suffers, however, from an inherent (intrinsic) imaginary intercarrier/inter-symbol interference that complicates signal processing tasks such as channel estimation (CE). Recently, the so-called interference approximation method (IAM) was proposed for preamble-based CE. It relies on the knowledge of the pilot's neighborhood to approximate this interference and constructively exploit it in simplifying CE and improving its performance. The IAM preamble with nulls at the neighboring time instants that results in optimum CE performance was recently reported. This paper investigates an extended version of it, which can provide significant improvement through an appropriate exploitation of the interfering symbols from neighboring time instants as well. Simulation results are presented that compare the methods, with each other and with CP-OFDM, in both mildly and highly frequencyselective channels.","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131077779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And it is also considered as a very efficient coding method in the developing high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. We try to accelerate the CABAC encoder to provide a high throughput to meet the requirement of beyond-HDTV video. Our design includes the binarization, context modeling and binary arithmetic encoding (BAE) parts and achieves a throughput of 4 bins per cycle. The synthesis result using SMIC 90nm shows that the logic gate count is 36.2K in all and the encoder engine can work at a maximum frequency of 279MHz. Thus the overall throughput can reach over 1 Gbin/s. In our design, the 460 contexts are assigned to 6 SRAMs to attain efficient context modeling. And the binarization part is also optimized to enhance the throughput with low hardware cost.","PeriodicalId":331889,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th European Signal Processing Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133089326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
